Chapter 9: Promotion

"I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say anything more. Xinjieyu, thank you. ”

I came back to my senses from this change and got up to thank you.

After sitting down, I still felt a little unbelievable in my heart, I became the Jieyu of Zhengsipin, what did Li Yiqian want to do?

Although Chen Jing also got the promotion, compared to my skipping promotion, hers is like a routine and not conspicuous.

"Congratulations to my sister Xijin Jieyu!" Yin'er's voice sounded, I don't know if it was my delusion, and a hint of coolness brushed through my heart.

"Thank you, Yin'er!" I smiled at her.

The second person to congratulate me was Sister Yun.

"Congratulations to Sister Xin, this jade pendant is a gift from the palace and grandmother, and I will give it to you today to congratulate my sister on her promotion." After speaking, he handed a piece of jade pendant to Wen Xiu beside her, and motioned for her to send it to me.

"Thank you Sister Shufei, but the jade is a gift from the elders, how can my sister win people's love, and ask my sister to accept the jade pendant." I was stunned, I didn't expect Wang Jinyun to give me this jade pendant.

The gifts given by the elders have different meanings, and no matter what they are, they cannot be given lightly.

"Yes, Concubine Niangniang, you gave such an important jade pendant to your sister, didn't you let people say that your sister didn't understand the rules!" Yin'er seemed to be a little dissatisfied and said.

"This palace doesn't mean this, since Sister Xin doesn't like it, this palace will change it for a gift when she goes back." Wang Jinyun said goodbye and stopped talking.

"Concubines and sisters, congratulations to Xinjieyu." Qian Ruyi took the lead and stood up.

"Congratulations to Xinjieyu." The concubines and concubines under Jieyu saluted together, even if they were unwilling and jealous in their hearts, they still didn't do that bird.

"Thank you, sisters, please take a seat." I smiled back and said aloud.

"Okay, sisters, if you want to congratulate your sister on her promotion, it's better to wait for her to move to the palace and then go to Yuquan Palace to congratulate. After all, such an honor is really rare, and it can be seen that Sister Xin is the person at the top of the emperor's heart. Today, it is still mainly a New Year's feast. Finally, Liu Yuyang spoke, and for some reason, I heard a strong resentment. And, of course, there are obvious provocations.

The person on the top of the emperor's heart? What a good description. Everyone in the harem, who doesn't want to do it, but now that they are crowned on the head of the daughter of a third-grade civil official, how can the daughters of those military generals who think highly of themselves be convinced? I already expected that there would be no peace in the palace for a long time to come.

And I will be the center of this chaos.

The New Year's banquet continued, but no one in the harem concubines appeared to perform anymore, and everyone in the palace was not in the mood to appreciate the singing and dancing. After daybreak, the feast was dispersed. Everyone returned to their respective palaces, and Li Yiqian and Liu Yuyang sent the Queen Mother back to the dormitory together.

"Hmph, what about the promotion of the higher ranks, the emperor hasn't followed the concubine Niangniang away, and he can't help himself!" I ignored Chen Jing's taunts, said hello to Wang Jinyun and Yin'er, and walked back to Tsinghua Palace quickly.

"Slave (slave) congratulations to Xinjieyu." When I walked to the door, I saw the minions in my house kneeling on the ground with happy faces.

"Get up, Konishi, reward."

"Thank you, master!"

After a while, Konishi walked in.

"Master, Zhaoyi Niangniang said that the New Year's reward has arrived, let you go out."

The annual reward is a common practice in the palace, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year every year, the queen will give things to each palace according to her position to express the joy of the Spring Festival. And now there is no queen in the palace, this matter is naturally handed over to the queen mother, and even Liu Yuyang has no right to interfere, at most it is just to preside on some "suggestions" behind the queen.

I think these unique privileges of queens are also the reason why Liu Yuyang has always wanted to be a queen. After all, sometimes the boundaries between wives and concubines are still very clear.

"The slave has seen Zhaoyi Niangniang, Xinjieyu." The eunuch sent by the Empress Dowager to give us a reward gave us a New Year's reward, "The Empress Dowager said, today is a good day for Xinjieyu, so there is one more thing than Jieyu's annual reward, which can be regarded as a happy head for you." ”

Wu Yuyan's face on the side suddenly darkened.

"The annual reward has been delivered, and the old slave has retired."

"Purple Star." I glanced at her and motioned for her to go out and deliver it.

"Father-in-law, please." Zixing understood what I meant, and sent him out one step faster than the people around Wu Yuyan.

"Hmph, Xinjieyu is so majestic, but no matter how favored you are, you have to know that the position of this palace is above you, and now this Qinghua Palace is still in charge. If there is a next time, this palace must go and tell the Queen Mother that you want you to look good! Wu Yuyan turned around angrily and left.

For Wu Yuyan's direct warning, I still breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. As for just now, I'm not trying to show off anything, but...

"Miss." At this time, Purple Star came in.

I motioned for everyone in the room to retreat, leaving only Shihoshi and Konishi.

"Miss, the slave has inquired. This time, only you and Sun Jieyu have more annual rewards than positions, and everyone else's is within the list. ”

"Sure enough, the reward for these years is not the decision of the Queen Mother, but the meaning of Concubine Liu." The Queen Mother will not be interested in the daughter of a civil official who has not yet reached the concubine position, only Liu Yuyang, she wants me to be the target of public criticism. As for Sun Qi, it was naturally because of the child in her womb. It's really a powerful calculation, an annual reward can make the two people she fears the most become live targets in the palace, and this, what does it matter to her, after all, the annual reward is given by the queen mother.

"What does the master mean... The concubine wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone. Konishi let out a little surprised.

"Silence." I glared at Konishi, "Can you say these things?" ”

"The slave and maid lose their words, and the master forgives the sins." Konishi hurriedly knelt down.

"Get up, next time you have to think clearly about what to say, and you can't say anything to death, otherwise no one will be able to keep you."

"Thank you, master."

"Go and ask someone to prepare, and move to the palace tomorrow." Hongu is a little tired, go and rest for a while. I waved them out.

After a night of vigilance and another dance, I was indeed a little tired.

However, at this time, I did not know that a poison plan against me had already been carried out.

At this time, Yuzhen Palace.

"How's that going?"

Liu Yuyang asked the spring cherry blossoms beside her while changing her clothes.

"Back to Niangniang, everything is done, just wait for three days to know the result."

"Well, you have always been at ease in this palace."

Cuiyu Palace, in Sun Qi's house.

"Lin Yaxin, that slut has actually been promoted two levels in a row, I don't know what kind of ecstasy she fed the emperor, she hasn't been favored like this before she sleeps, if she sleeps, won't the harem even have a place for us! Sister Sun, you are still pregnant with the dragon heir, the emperor actually didn't care about your feelings at all, so let a third-grade civil official slut respect you alongside! Chen Jing was a little speechless.

"Yes, with me." Sun Qi stroked his stomach a little gloomily.
